I bought the Alloy version for $5,600 a few months ago, I really wish I would have held out a little longer…this is a stellar deal for a quality E-MTB. It frequently tops versus reviews for electric mountain bikes. I love mine, highly recommend.
The Turbo Levo Comp is LESS than the Turbo Levo Alloy right now. You get a much larger battery, and a huge upgrade in components ($2000+ value) for free.
The all-new Levo delivers the unbelievable power to ride more trails through an unequaled combination of ride quality, usable power, and ride anywhere range. It's the distillation, application, and amplification of a 40-year obsession with creating the world's best riding mountain bikes. Since its introduction, Levo has set the bar every other e-MTB aims for, and the new Levo raises that bar again.
It starts with our Turbo Full Power 2.2 motor and Turbo Connect Unit (TCU), which provide Levo with a smooth and seamless amplification of your efforts—4x you power that lets you choose where to ride, and when you want to do it. Levo also shatters limitations when it comes to range, amplifying your effort for up to five hours of trail time. Now you can ride farther, and explore more, than ever before. And the optimized chassis boasts 150mm of custom-tuned rear suspension and adjustable geometry that delivers a stable and natural ride like no other. Because at the end of the day, it's the ride that matters. Believe it.
Take your trail riding to a whole new level with the Turbo Levo Comp. Featuring our all-new M5 alloy chassis, SRAM's expansive GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, and buttery FOX Performance suspension, it'll have you riding circles around everyone else.
Levo's fully integrated Turbo Full Power 2.2 motor, 700Wh battery, and Turbo Connect Unit deliver category-leading 90 Nm of torque and 565 watts of power for up to five hours of ride time, empowering you to ride farther and faster than ever before.
The Levo's Turbo Connect Unit (or "TCU") is more than an "On-Off" button—it's the brains of the bike. The TCU shows your battery level and power-assist mode. It also communicates, via ANT+/Bluetooth®, with our optional handlebar display to display even more information about your day's ride.
A dedicated mixed-wheel size design with a 27.5" wheel in the back and 29" up front delivers a nimble ride that carves circles around other full-power e-MTBs. A generous cockpit centers you on the bike, optimizing traction and corner control. The low bottom bracket, slack headtube angle and reduced fork offset keep things stable in the rough.
Levo offers six distinct geometry settings, allowing you to easily dial-in its performance for any riding style and any terrain. Head tube angle can be adjusted between 63- and 65.5-degrees. Bottom bracket height can be fine-tuned up or down by 7mm.
Levo's 150mm of rear travel is supple on small bumps, devours square-edged hits without a twitch, eats massive G-outs for breakfast, yet still offers amazing pedal response and delivers your power to the ground with total efficiency.
The Levo's S-Sizing is based on what matters—rider size and style, not inseam. Six sizes, all with similar headtube lengths and standover, allow you to choose the size that best suits your individual style. Smaller S-Size numbers are going to be nimble and more flickable, while bigger S-Sizes deliver more stability and a roomier ride.

bike with an electric motor and battery. Shouldn't cost more than $2500. Bet it costs them $1000 to make or less. Markup is insane
This is a lot of bike for $5600. Its a great deal.

Serious question: are you comparing this bike to a regular eBike? Or to another mountain bike? I think the biggest confusion here is that people are trying to compare this bike to something like a RadPower or a Lectric eBike, but they serve completely different purposes. RadPower and Lectric are built as electric bikes for transportation. This bike is not built for transportation; it's built to be ridden as a mountain bike with an electric motor added. If you're in the market for an eBike to ride around town, this is NOT what you're looking for. This bike is built for a very specific market.
Using your analogy above, this is closer to buying an Acura NSX GT3 (~$543K USD) to use for a race team vs a Honda Civic (~$28K USD).
it would be like marketing that $500k Acura NSX GT3 as discounted on Autotrader. People will laugh you off the website. If this "deal" was posted on a MTBing forum, no one would bat an eye. But this is SD, a website for the 90%, not the 10% niche buyers.
This isn't a commuter bike and is not marketed as one.
No, it is a website for everyone, regardless of income. The commonality is saving money on items one wants to buy at a discount,
Hopefully you bought this bike when it was on sale, because it's $2k more now.
